HOSE-NZZLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GABRIEL Wr. MoCooLn, ay citizen of the United States, residing at Hot Springs, in the county of Garland and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hose-Nozzles, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to improvements in hose nozzles, and more particularly to that class ortype which are designed to be attached to a garden hose for use in throwing or projecting very fine streams or sprays 4on lawns and in gardens, green-houses, and the like.

The primary object of the invention is to provide agenerally improved hose or spray nozzle of this class, of exceedingly simple, cheap, and eflicient construction, better adapted to its intended purposes than any other device of thev same class with which I am acquainted.

A `further object of the invention is lto simplify, arrange, and dispose the various parts whereby to reduce the friction in the passage to a minimum, and project the stream in a more efficient and desired niair ner.

A still further object is to provide an iniproved cone-shaped deiiector member adapted to cooperate with the tubular body and nozzle head to project an ornamental .fountain spray particularly designed for 'use as an ornament to lawns and the like and provided witli an improved supporting base or stand whereby the improved hose nozzle may be supported and maintained in a ver tical position for such use.

ll'ith the above mentioned and other ends in view, the invention Aconsist-s in the novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in some of its embodiments in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. n

Referring to the drawings, forming a part of this specilication, F igure' l, is a view of a form of the improved hose nozzle, particularly designed to be spun from sheet material. Fig. '2, an end view of the same. Fig. 3, a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 4, a view of the same attached to an ordinary garden hose and supported in the vertical position by means of a supporting staff or stand. Fig. 5, a longitudinal sectional view of a modified form of Specification of Letters Patent. Application tiled February 11, 1911.

same particularly designed to be cast` from...` brass or other suitable material. Fig. 6, ay 1 sectional view of a. still further `modified forni of same. Fig. 7, a perspective :view of.; the improved cone-shaped deliector memben,

u Similar numerals of referencefdesigriate like parts throughoutl all the figures of the' drawings. v

rl`lie improved hose nozzle comprises Va', niainor tubular body portionl l terminating. at one end in a truncated cone-shaped noz-V zle head 2, and at the other `in an interfV nally threaded base portion 3. The thread-, ed base portion 3 is adapted tol be threaded lnozzle head 2. The nozzle'lieaclv 2, is provided with a threaded portion 2a, and a cone-shaped spreader or deiector member G, extending intol said nozzle head and forming conjointly with the walls of thel latter a wedge-shaped annular passage 7, said cone-shaped spreader member being provided atl its base with a perforated annular portion 61, at the end of said wedge-shaped annular passage, and as a means for removably securing said cone-shaped spreader or deflector member upon' the nozzle head 2,

said annularportion 6a, in the form shown in Figs. 5, 6, and T, is provided with an internally threaded portion Gb, taking over and threaded upon the threaded portion 2a,

of the nozzle head 2. 'ln the form shown in Figs. l, 2, and 3 the nozzle head is formed -integial with the cone-shaped spreader member 6, and hasits threaded'portioii at the' lmost constricted portion of the bore or passage la.

As 'a means. for preventing leakage, a washer S, may be interposed between the edge of the nozzle head 2, and the annular portion 6a, as shown in Figs.` 5 and 6,'and as a means for changing theform and force of the projecting streams. or sprays,

spreader members haring various sized openings or perforations in the annular portions 5, and various forms of cones may be substituted to meet the varying demands of actual service.

In the modified form shown in Fig. 6,

. or rod being provided at its top with a loop head 9, adapted to receive and carry the neck portion of the improved nozzle and supported at its base by means of a spider base 10. The pointed end of the rod or staff 9, may be adjustably supported in the sleeve portion l0, of.y the base l0, by means of an adjusting bolt l1.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the operation and advantages of my invention 'will be readily understood.

Having thus described some of the embodiments of my invention, what l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,-

'1. A hose nozzle, comprising a tubular body provided With a constricted portion terminating in a truncated cone-sliaped flaring nozzle head, and a hollow conical shaped spreader member forming an annular Wedge shape-d passage intermediate the Walls of said spreader member and nozzle head and provided 'with a perforated rim portion extending across the terminating 4aortic-n et said passage, said perforated rim portion being provided with an internally threaded portion threaded upon said tiaring nozzle head. l

2 A hose nozzle comprising a constricted tubular body terminating in an enlarged truncated cone-shaped nozzle head having an externally threaded base, and a hollowv cone-shaped dei'lector member forming an outwardly flaring edge-shaped annular passage intermediate the walls of said detlector member and said nozzle head and terminating in a perforated internally threaded rim portion extending across the terminating portion of said annular passage and threaded upon said externally threaded base ot' said nozzle head.

3. A hose nozzle,comprising aconstricted tubular body terminating in a flaring nozzle head, and a conical shaped spreader member extending therein and forming conjointly with said nozzle head an annular wedge-shaped passage terminating in a series of perforations about the more enlarged portion of saidnozzle head.

lin testimony whereof I have aiiixed my signature in presence ot' two Witnesses.
